Laurentian University sees the convergence of its interests with those of the other Aménagement Linguistique Policy (PAL) partners in the following areas:

  1. The creation of an inventory of asynchronous courses that are available in French, to fill specific student needs (from the point of view of customer service rather than the maximization of revenue to the institution where a student is anchored);
  2. Technology adoption strategies by faculty, including the challenges of collegial management;
  3. Support for the development of joint “delocalized” hybrid programs, such as the social work program.

The detailed fact sheet can be found in Appendix 11 of the accompanying document. This fact sheet is available in French only.

NOTE: The list of current course offerings supported by technology and online course is available in Annex only.
